The planbriefly, is that the rushee3 shall maketheir cchoices, first, second and third,of fraterities, and turn them in.The fraternities themselves makeup a list of a certain agreed uponnumber of men; there lists to be inorder of choice and with the manmost in demand given the highestnumber. By multiplying the numberthat the fraternity gives the manby the number of his choice, firstchoice three, second choice two, andthird choice one, a number is ob¬tained that shows which fraternityhe should be pledged by.Mathematics DecideFor example, if the fraternitiesdecided upon thirty as the numberof men to be placed on their list,thirty would be the number of theman most in demand by the fra¬ternity, with twenty-nine for the onenext in choice, and so on down. Ifthe man given the number thirtyshould pick that fraternity first onh1s list, this number would be multi¬plied by three, giving him numberninety. This would, of course, behigher than the possible number forany fraternity.In the case of a possible tie thefraternity given first choice shouldpledge the man. This might occurif a rushee numbered fifteen, or in¬stance, should . place that fraternitysecond on his list. This would num¬ber him thirty. He would receivethe same total if he placed a fra¬ternity, by which he was numberedthirty, third on his list.Council to ChooseThis plan was placed before thecouncil, leaving them the choice ofdeciding between it and the revisionof last year’s rushing program thatwas published in yesterday’s DailyMaroon. Practically the only changethat was made in the old rushingplan, recently revised and submittedby the rules committee, was the elim¬ination of the three days of non¬pledging which featured the rushinglast Fall. Is “Line Slinger’Dumb or Naive?Have university women losttheir reserve? According to amember of the University ofColorado faculty, the typical col¬lege woman is too free. Afterone has known her for five min¬utes one has plumbed the depthsof her personality. This isblamed to the prevalence of“lines” and the consequent sim¬ilarity of all conversations.On the other hand, ProfessorWayland Parrish, of the Univer¬sity of Pittsburg, says that the“line,” the sophistication, of themodern youth is assumed to maskhis real feelings. “It is merelya fad,” said Prof. Parrish. “Thisfeigned indifference to all the’lore profound things of life. Inreality the colbgian is naive.”JUNIORS COLLECTDUES IN CHAPEL$79.04 Collected TowardQuota of $85.00 Admiral NultonChats With FourProfessors HereMABEL STANDINGER ISCHOSEN SPANISHQUEENI e Mabel Standinger was elected asqueen of “La Noche de Fiesta” yes¬terday by El Circulo Espanol to leadthe festivals at the costume ball,which will be held . Feb. 7 in thetheater of Ida Noyes hall. Theladies in waiting which she chosearc Mabel Luecke, Laura Reynolds,Amy Root, Yolanda Simiz, HelenSteinhauser, and Harriet Vorman.Miss Staudinger has been an activemember of the club for some time,and was chosen as queen because ofher being of the Spanish type, ac¬cording to Manuel Bueno, presidentof the organization.The queen will be dressed in robesof roya1 purple edged with preciousstones. She will sit on her throneat the head of the ball-room, sur¬rounded by her court and subjects,and will have six ladies in waitingdressed in white.Spanish fiesta queens are the lead¬ers of all activity. “We feel thatwe will have more of the atmosphereof Spain,” said Evelyn McLain, gen¬eral cha:rman of the hall, “if we havea brilliant court scene such as wouldrea''y be held in that country, withelaborate costumes for the court andattendants. Many native Spaniardswill attend in costume, thus addingto the local color of the affair.”Tickets for the fiesta are on saleby Yolanda Simiz, who has chargeof the ticket sales, or by any memberof the Spanish club for seventy-fivecents._ Junior chapel was converted intoa Junior class meeting yesterdaywhen Dean Wilkins turned over thechair of honor to Graham Hagey,Junior class president. The meetingwas primarily for the collection ofJunior class dues, which after thecount, amounted to $79.04, attwenty-five cents for each member.This means that 320 persons arepaid in full, out of a class of 400.The meeting was opened with aspeech by Herbert DeYoung, busi¬ness manager of The Daily Maroon,who extended an offer to the classwhich entitled all to a free trial sub¬scription to the paper.President Hagey then took thefloor, and spoke on the Junior socialprogram for the coming year. Thisincludes, according to Hagey, severalmixers, a theatre party in the nearfuture, and the annual Junior promin the Spring quarter, if plans workout well. He concluded his speechwith the announcement that classdues would be collected, and askedthat each Junior contribute twenty-five cents for the budget to carryout the outlined program. This, hestated, w’ould amount to practicallyeighty-five dollars, which would justabout meet the required budget.Contribution plates were thenpassed among the class, by the wo¬men appointed, and the class cardswere distributed by a number of themen. This policy of dues collectionis the one advocated by the Under¬graduate Council, and entails a sumwhich is not unreasonable, and yetmeets the requirements adequately.Stitt Wilson to SpeakAt Smoke-talk Sunday Rear Amiral Louis M. Nulton, for¬merly in command of Battleship di¬vision number three of the Pacificfleet, visited the University yester¬day on a tour of six American uni¬versities, at the close of which hewill become superintendent of theUnited States Naval Academy at An¬napolis. The duties of his new officecommence February 23.While at the University lie con¬ferred with Deans H. G. Gale, E. H.Wilkins, J. H. Tufts and Prof. F. R.Moulton on educational methods“We appreciate the value of theUniversity’s co-operation with theNavy,” Admiral Nulton stated. “Itscontributions of academic work andresearch can materially aid in thepreparation of adequate national de¬fense. This thought’ is crystallizedin the minds of those who under¬stand the international situation.”For some years instruction hasbeen given at the University to menwho have shown special ability inarmy science and in post graduatework at the Naval Academy.Army men have pursued theirstudies in the national arsenal. Atthe University both Army and Navymen get instruction from Prof. F. R.Moulton on the higher theory of bal¬listics. This theoretical work en¬ables Army and Navy men to im¬prove the design of projectiles whenthey go to the “proving grounds” andby the study of trajectories and oth¬er questions in the science of ballis¬tics they become able to improve therange and reduce dispersion of ar¬tillery fire and of naval gunnery.For the first time during the warwhen Professor Moulton became amajor in the Ordnance departmenthe used mathematical methods de¬veloped for the calculation of celes¬tial bodies, and this application ofastronomy to ballistics brought abouta new chapter in the knowledge ofthe latter subject.Prof. Moulton, who is one of themost internationally known astrono¬mers, will lecture in Orchestra hallFeb. 0, when he will tell about thelatest discoveries which enable sci¬entists to make telescopic studies ofstar galaxies many millions of milesdistant from the earth.

Prof. Walter Sargent, head of therecently created Art Department atthe University, will talk on “Art inthe Home” at a meeting of the HomeEconomics club to be held today at4 in the library of Ida Noyes hall.“I have chosen that subject be¬cause I thought it would be of spe¬cial interest to Home Economics stu¬dents. I intend to stress the correctuse of color and the necessity forit,” said Prof. Sargent. “The talkwill be somewhat along the line ofmy recent treatise on art, ‘Color andIts Enjoyment.’ ” Besides his writ¬ing, Prof. Sargent has done somelandscape paintings, three of whichwill be on exhibition in a collectionof works by Souths side painters atthe Gladstone hotel. Some of hisoil paintings were on exhibition lastwinter at the Art Institute in theAmerican Painters’ group.Mr/Sargent stated that he has notbeen doing much painting lately be¬cause of his two classes in PictorialComposition and Color, which takemost of his time. “Mr. Sargent iswell-known in the field of Art Edu¬cation,” said Madelyn Conroy, vicepresident of the club, “and his talkshould be of interest to everyone.”The social committee of the clubhas planned a musical program andrefreshments to follow the talk. By Al E. Widdifield“The manufacturing industries, theAnti-Volstead and anti-suffragistelements are the greatest enemiesof the prevention of child labor,”said Jane Addams, founder of HullHouse and one of America’s fore¬most settlement workers in an inter¬view with The Daily Maroon follow¬ing her lecture to students of theUniversity at Kent theatre lastnight. “These enemies,” she con¬tinued, “are utilizing that newlydiscovered device of suppression—propoganda.”Miss Addams, in her plea for theenforcement of a law prohibitingchild labor, stated that there was afalse impression created by propa¬ganda that if such a law were en¬forced boys would not be able todrive home the cows nor girls towash the breakfast dishes.“It took seventy years for Englandto pass a law preventing shimneysweepers from poking small boys upthe chimneys to clean them out, boyswho in some cases were smotheredor burned to death. Conditions, weknow, are not like this in America,”she continued, “we are not tryingto paint them as such. Our requestsdo not touch the agricultural worker,our grievances lie in the child laborof the manufacturing industries.”Miss Addams stated that the move¬ment was being accused all over theUnited States, but that the dollarwas always more active than phil¬anthropy, and that the wapon laoeledpropoganda was in the hands of theopposition. She described the battleof earlier welfare workers to sup¬press child labor and the fates oftheir bills.A record audience filled the balllast night, and listened eagerly toMiss Oddain’s address on the Child-Labor question, to which she has de¬voted the past few years of herlife, working ceaselessly to promotethe passing of the Anti Child-Laborbill. She is making a vigorous fightagainst the progaganda of the poli¬tical enemies of the hill, and is firm¬ly confident of success.Graduate Women toVisit Board of Trade UNIVERSITY ALUMNATO TALK DAILYOVER RADIOBH C. & A.

To Professor Paul Shorey, theUniversity owes the motto of thecoat-of-arms and the seal. As thestory goes, Mr. Shorey was thinkingone day of that phrase in Tennyson’s“In Memoriam:” “Let knowledgegrow from more to more,” and it im¬pressed him as expressing one pur¬pose of a University. Translating itinto Latin, the phrase appeared as“Scientia crescat.” In search forsome phrase that would express theUniversity’s ideal of service, as Mr.Robinson of the Department of Eng¬lish wrote in the University of Chi¬cago Magazine for June, 1912, “hewas minded of the passage in thesixth book of the Aeneid, in whichVirgil tells of seeing in the happyfields those who on earth enrichedor adorned human life. (IncentaNaut qui vitah excoluere per artes).And so he got his second verb andsubject. In putting the two partstogether he related them in Englishby “and so.” Hence Dr. Shorey of¬fered as a motto for the University:Crescat scientia; vita excolatur—“Let knowledge grow from more tomore; and so be human life en¬riched.” By the way, A. and P., doyou deal in groceries?3. The seventeen acres of the or¬iginal site in Chicago have increasedto about 164. You know, J. L. S.,this includes the seventy odd acresof the Observatory site at LakeGeneva.4.

Scientific apparatus,alone cost more than $700,000.00.5. The poem which you mention,Sarah Nader, is a ballad produced byone of the University’s poets, Hor¬ace Spencer Fiske. The ditty has be¬come a part of the athletic history ofthe institution.

They are a rendezvousfor the worst elements of human life,this fact being the most advertisedof all faults to be found in centersof dense population. Authors ofevery phase and class in literaturehave written their condemnation.Rousseau is credited with sayingthat “cities are the sinks of the hu¬man race.” Even in our day thesecharaeteristizations may apply to theconditions within the environs of alarge city. While they educate usthey develop a superficiality that isnot evident in any rural sections.Attempts to Curb GrowthAttempts at preventing this in¬evitable growth have been tried inthe legislative bodies of all countriesever since they reached an organizedstate. It has been found by experi¬ence in the past that it is futile toendeavor to prevent this growth byinciting public opinion against cities.Experience has also taught us thatit is impossible to stop this growthand that it is best to regard it withas much sanity as we can.Trys to Measure GrowthThe third stage is one of trying tomeasure this growth according todefinite social or economical laws.Such absurdities as stating that citiesgrow westward or that they doublein size every twenty-five years havebeen discarded as plain “hokum.”An economic law that sounds morereasonable is one saying cities in¬crease no faster than the costlinessand wholesomeness of living in themis rated.

Degreein Physical EducationIowa City, la., Jan. 28.—Thedegree of bachelor of science in phy¬sical education will be offered tomen at the University of Iowa be¬ginning with the school year of 1925-26, according to announcement madetoday.A curriculum for the departmenthas “been drawn up by Prof. PaulE. Belting, and has been approved by the faculty committee.The course will be four years inlength. It will include work in thecollege of liberal arts as well as spe¬cial instruction in phases of athleticsand gymnasium training. Graduatesof the department will be fitted foipositions as athletic coadhes andphysical education directors, it isannounced.For four years women at the uni¬versity have been offered a similarcourse leading to the same degree.for every case of growth record.A last stage that we are now in¬volved in is one of trying to under¬stand the cities and make the mostof the situation. There are numer¬ous men’s and women’s organizationsanalyzing and studying the bestmethods of improving the conditionsof life. The vice and crime that con¬centrates in great industrial centersis counteracted on the other side byhonorable and righteous-minded citi¬zens. The aims of sociologists shoulohe mainly to study the normal life ina large city rather than that of the“caught” classes. As the most virileblood of our life today is beingdrawn slowly to the call of the citieswe are entitled to cities that are asfar as possible the best we can makethem.

Though the men havefailed to get “hot,” having scoredbut forty-three points in threegames, they are are due to hit theirstride, now that the accurate shoot¬ing Alyea will be in the lineup.

Ia., Jan. 28.“The scientific spirit of the age isreacting upon modern literature, andguiding it toward realism,” declaredProf. Frank L. Mott of the Englishdepartment at the University ofIowa, in a talk before the Matrices,an organization of women journal¬ism students. Prof. Mott is associ¬ate editor of the Midland magazine. “People have a divine curiosityabout the world and the people in it,which the realists strive to satisfy,”he said. “The short story writerno longer feels it his duty to upliftthe human race and point a moral.He is satisfied with presenting somephase of human life and emotions ina vivid and realistic manner.”Realists score “chocolate fudge”fiction, according to Professor Mott.He says that the happy ending is al¬ways popular with the majority ofthe reading public.Group Pictures To BeTaken Todayfor the(SAP ANS (S©WC. and A.
